Web Server - Ask For Help / Re: Colon cleansing?
« Last post by Jane on Today at 12:50:59 PM »isn't just nostalgia for the DOS days.... So convince away...
Dang, Bruce.
You calling me old? Old?
Of course I'm old... I program in Clarion!
A kid I worked with 15 years ago used to refer to me as "Old 8-bit."
All right... I'm looking at more commercial websites with an eye toward their use of labels and will rethink things for my current little project.
But dang... still don't like having my colons eaten! (If a colon looks stupid on a label and I'm not bright enough to rewrite the label text without a colon then I deserve an ugly label!)
Speaking of appearances... if labels is the new plastics... what do you think about adding an entry in the form field template for CSS for the label the way you have for Prompt and Comment?
Now where'd I leave my 5 1/4 floppy with MASM 5.0???

« Last post by Bruce on May 16, 2024, 08:14:06 PM »Hi Jane,
So, yeah, it's a very "clarion" think to put colons at the end of a prompt.
However, this makes the transition to labels (which is better for screen readers) ugly. And also makes the use of floating, or fixed, labels ugly.
To make things consistent (and ultimately a lot more useful) removing the colons from prompts is desirable (and Nt14 does this for us.)
So, no, there's no easy way around that at the moment. Although there could be one if I was suitably convinced that the colon isn't just nostalgia for the DOS days.... So convince away...

Web Server - Ask For Help / Colon cleansing?
« Last post by Jane on May 16, 2024, 04:38:42 PM »Bruce,
On some of the prompts on webforms I want a colon.
i.e. Patient Number: ______________
But the p_web.NoColon template code eats my colon:
packet.append('<label for="'&p_web.nocolon('wizKeepPatientId')&'">' & p_web.NoColon(loc:prompt,Net:NoUnderscore) & '</label>')
Is there an easy way around that I'm missing, other than embedding code and exiting each Prompt::whatever routine early?
Thanks.

Web Server - Ask For Help / Trying to get a handle on css? Consider Stylizer 7
« Last post by rjolda on May 15, 2024, 01:22:53 AM »HI,
NT 14.21 C11.0
As a 35 year clarion programmer I have NO CLUE on css. I got a young kid to help me get started. Arnor told me about Stylizer 7 (skybound.ca ) for helping with css. I downloaded the demo ( free for 2 weeks ). However, it would not load my web site. I wrote to support and they told me that they were able to open my NT web app with the chrome add on. I had to purchase the program for US$79.95 to get the CHrome and Firefox plug ins. However, well worth it. I am overwhelmed by all the stuff in the Chrome Developer and Firefox Developer. This program lays out the CSS very nicely and with a little learning, it is pretty clear. I am finding it very helpful in getting my css going and up to snuff. If you point it to your custom.css, it will save any changes right to your custom.css. Pretty neat.
FWIW,
Ron

« Last post by rupertvz on May 14, 2024, 11:30:13 AM »Hi Robert,
I see it works on my iPhone.
I changed the barcode format to EAN and this enabled me to scan successfully.
My web-app was uploaded to the Windows server, opened from my iPhone and scans successfully.
